I'm not an adult so I'm obviously not entirely experienced but I'd say it's a fairly good salary anywhere tbh for an 18 year old.

As for whether it's liveable - even in London, it should be, though you may be in a very small studio flat or need flatmates. Outside of London, definitely. £26000 in the UK gets you quite far compared to say $26000 in the USA


Woah, you mean £26k and $26k aren't the same amount?! it's almost like they're different amounts of money or something!

Shocking
Pretty sure no one is thinking about renting on their own on £27k

you'd ideally want atleast 3 house mates and pay no more than £200 a week on rent
As long as you house share in Zone 2/3 and don't bomb £200 a week on going out then £30k is more than workable
